Pleads guilty in LTTE arms case

Washington: A former Indonesian General on Saturday pleaded guilty to money laundering and conspiring to provide material support to Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers through an undercover business in the United States.

Gen. Erick Wotulo was charged last year with having aided the Tamil Tigers in the attempted purchase of surface-to-air missiles, night vision devices, machine guns and state-of-the-art firearms. The 59-year-old Indonesian citizen pleaded guilty on Saturday to conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organisation and money laundering. Accorting to the plea agreement, Gen. Wotulo conspired with others to export state-of-the-art firearms, machine guns and ammunition, surface-to-air missiles, and other military weapons to the LTTE. — PTI
